In February, 37-year-old Saha, who had been dropped from the Indian team for the Test series against Sri Lanka, had taken to Twitter to publish a screenshot of messages that a “respected” journalist had sent him on WhatsApp.

The screenshot in question had the sender requesting Saha “to do an interview” with him, to which Saha did not respond.

The messages eventually took a more aggressive tone: “You did not call. Never again will I interview you. I don’t take insults kindly. And I will remember this. This wasn’t something ypu should have done.”

With Rishabh Pant establishing himself as India’s first choice wicketkeeper, and Srikar Bharat rising through the ranks to become his new deputy.

Saha, who has played 40 Tests, was told by head coach Rahul Dravid that the team would be moving on from him and that he could take a decision on his career.

The 37-year old felt he was “indirectly being told to retire.” Not long after that, he was demoted from Group B (INR 3 crore salary) to Group C (INR 1 crore) of the BCCI central contracts list.
